This was the sad secret breathed by
legions Of shadows through the ruined

ghostly intbning Of holy Cecil's voice

From a kpeeling figure on the court
yard pavement there arose, amid tho
subdued voices of the women, the
beseeching burden of the miserere. IL

toning the penitential chant. But It's
tones now were wall, tremulous with
heart break and sorrow that must
henceforth be an unceasing corrosion

A Protest Against Coercion.

New YORK, March 2l.-A mass
meeting was held in Cooper Union to-
night to protest against the enactment of
the proposed coercion measure for Ire
lond by the English parliament. Charles
A. Dana, editor of the Sun, acted as
chairman. Samuel j. Randall was among
the speakers. Roscoe Conkling sent a
letter expressing sentiments appropriate
to the occasion. The resolutions passed,
quote England greatest statesman in
saying that force is no remedy, and de-
claring that home rule in the establish.
ment Of a parliament to deal directly with
local questions is the only way Of settling
the Irish question. The resolutions ten
der sympathy and promise support to
Gladstone and Parnell. and encourage
them to oppose coercion. The resolutions
are to be sent to the two leaders and also
t. the Tory leader uord Salisbury.
The following cablegram was sent to
Gladstone.
The citizens Of New York, in mass
meeting assembled, protesting against
coercion, heartily endorse your noble
policy, and wish you God speed in your
undertaking. CHARLES A. DANA. ~

Gladstone to the Front.

LONDON, March 2l.-Mr. Smiths mo-
ton for urgeny for the coercion bill will
be opposed to the uttermost by the com
bined strength of the Gladstenians and
the Parnellites. Mr.. Smith promises an
early statement Of the land proposition,
but the opposition are determined not to
permit the introduction of the coercion
bill until the land question has been dealt
with. The Ministerialists admit their in
ability to enforce the new cloture rule
without a protracted debate extending
beyond Easter. The Gladstonians greeted
with derisive laughter Mr.. Smiths state
ment that he expected to reach the second
reading of the bill on Monday.
The Parnellites are gratified at Morley
amendment and heartily approve it.
The amendment was drafted last week by
Morley, Ilarcourt and Gladstone, with the
view of embarrassing the Radical Union
lists, some of whom the Conservatives adj
init may possibly abstain from voting.
Lord Harrington is aware of the govern
ment's plans, and has approved them.
He will doubtless carry the bulk of his
followers with him.
The debate on the Morley amendment
will last several nights, and 1t is certain
that Mr.. Gladstone will speak. 1t is the
present intention of the Pqrnellites and a
large section of Gladstonians to oppose the
coercion bill at every stage. even to force
a division on a formal motion for permits
sion to introduce the bill. All parties
have used urgent Whips.

BISMARCK, March 2l.- Tomorrow
those of the 900 delayed passengers now
here who wish to cross the river will be
transferred in boats. AS soon as the
water subsidies sufficiently repairs will be
made TO the Northern Pacific bridge,

in travel from now on, whether the water
subsidies or not. People are continually
passing between here and Mandan in
boats. About the only trouble at that
place is the inconvenience occasioned by
flooded easements and cellars.

The Clearly Trial.

New YORK. March 2l.-In the trial
Of ex-Alderman Cleary to-day, his coun-
sci, Shaier, made an attack On the press
OF the city, charging them with being in
esgue TO secur the conviction of his
client. Shafer spoke in bitter invective
against the proprietor of a morning paper
of this city. He was brought to a stop
by the sharp sound of the gavel. The
court said the jury knew nothing of news
paper assaults, and counsel must desist
Then turning ierccly upon the twenty re-
porters around the table. the advocate
yelled, There they are! there they arei
burrowing geniuses of the press. There
isn't one Of them you could trust in your
house, except the fat man." Three or four
feshy quill pushers at the table, each
taking this to himself, flushed confusedly.
He contended that the testimony that
the defendant had been seen at the meet
ings of the other boodlers was cooked up
by detectives. His client was a poor man
and was paying for his defense out of
honestly earned money. Shafer spoke
for two honrs.

WAsniNGToN, March 2l. The atten.
ton of the department. of justice has been
called by the war department to the rob
berry Of Paymaster Bash of s. 400 near
Fort Laramie, Wyo., and it is probable
that a reward will be offered for the arrest
of the pcrpctrator. In the absence of
particulars. the opinion is entertained that
the paymaster was not robbed in person,
but that the express package bearing the
remittauccs of funds sent By him to other

The Mysterious Lawton Affair.

NEW YORK, March 2l.- Abraham
King, counsel for a number OF creditors
of the missing Walter T.. Lawton, the
guano magnate, made the first estimate
to day that has been attempted of how
much the creditors will receive out Of the
wreck. Attachments reach a total of
$50, 75l. Killing thinks the assets will
be about 100000 and assumes that the
creditors will receive about rs per cent of
their claims. He considers Lawton' $
Cat-tail island the principal asset, but
this already has 81, 250,O 900 worth OF
mortgages. 1t is expected that the legal
battle to determine which of the mort
cages on the island shall take precedence,
will be one of interesting complications
that are certain to arise out of this mys-
FERROUS affair.

A Physician Volunteers ADVICE 10
the President.


WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Dr. u. 7.
Sewers, one of the most prominent phys
icians OF Washington, in an interview
with Il reporter to-day. declared there is
danger that President Cleveland will not
live through his term unless he changes his
mode of living. DIR. Sewers, six months
before Manning illness, made the same
prediction with regard to the secretary
and advised a friend to warn him of his
danger. In the interview to day, Sewers
says"
ut may be deemed impertineHt to talk
to the president through a newspaper
man, but | know ofno other way of reach
ing him SO surely. You recall my at
tempts with friends of Manning, and their
fruits, and | do not feel that | should not
take the same chances in this matter. |
am personally apprised of the presidents
condition, and while it is in no sense dan
gerous, it will not be long before there
will be reason for alarm. The President
is a large, fieshy man, and since he came
to the white house lie has gained enor-
mously in flesh.
NOW, when he lived in Buffalo it was
his habit to take long walks. Since he
came here, however, he has abandoned
every form of exercise save carriage rid
ing. That is of little or no use, with the
springs now in use and the smooth streets
for which Washington Is famous. The
president is a man who works with his
head a great deal; he is, in fact, an in
tense brain worker. He is, in other
words, a plcdder, and his brain is conse-
q%uently filled with an excess OF blood.
What is the result? He works with his
head. eats enormously, and fails to exer-
else his muscles; his blood vessels are
weakened, and it is only a question of
time when, in a m of excitement,
he bursts n blood vessel. / tell you at the
rate President Cleveland is now living
there is great danger hat he will not live
throughout his term, Something should
be done to bring him to realize his danger
and take proper steps to prevent the re-
suit which will surely ensue if he fails to
take proper exercise. What | should
recommend would be the fixing up of a
room in the white house, and the setting
apart OF half an hour every day for gym.
nastic exercise. That alone. in my opinion,
will prevent a catastrophe, the avoidance
OF which not only the president but the
country at large is interested in securing"

Terrible Losses on the Upper
Missouri.

ST. PAUL, March 2l.-From Northern
Pacific officials it is learned to-day that all
efforts to dislodgo the ice gorge above
Mandan have been futile. The water is
rising gradually to day and sweeping over
a larger area han yesterday, though how
much damage is done is merely a matter
of conjecture. Telegraphic communica-
ton with Mandan is cut off completely so
it is impossible to get news direct. All
mails have been returned to be sent over
the Union Pacific.

How can you expect a cIoar complexion
when the blood is FULL Of impurities and
the stomach clogced? The blood becomes
impure because the liver does not act pro.
perly and work off the poison from the

pimples and eruptlons. Purify the blood
with Simmons Liver Regulator and regu.
late the liver, stomach and bowels, and
then the skin will become clear.

The Wtnans Family.

Philadelphia Times: This history Of the
Winans family is as remarkable as it is
interesting. Over forty years ago there
lived in this city two brothers named
Thomas and William Winans. Both were
men of natural railroad genius. though
far from cultivated or scientific engineers.
The two had made money and they
building IN Russia. About this period
the czar drew his famous pencil mark
across the map from st. Petersburg to
Moscow as the route of the railroad he
projected. The story is old. but
it bears retellng here. After all the
engineers had given their opinions about
the best practicable routes. Nicholas,
confessed by the clash of ideas, took up a
ruler and, drawing a straight line by it
across the map from st. Petersburg to
Moscow, handed it to them as the final
route of the railroad. The alarmed
Russians had recourse to foreign en-
gineers, and the Winanses took up the
work. The road was successfully built
and great future secured for them but
1t was not until 1861 that completely
successful locomotive was built. In those
days Russian engines burned wood en-.
tirely, and 1t was only after seventeen
years that the right kind of locomotive
was constructed. From that period on

to be colossal.
Thomas married the daughter of a
Russian shopkceper. She died, leaving
HIM two children-Ross Winans, of this
city, and Celeste, now married to Mr..
Hutton, a young Englishman in the di.
plomatic service. William had married
an Englishwoman of the middle class
and retired TO England to enjoy his
wealth. Since the time he first crossed
the ocean on his way to Russia in 1884,
MIR. William " mans has never returned
to this country. A strain of eccentricity
early developed itself in both brothers,
and in William it took the form of ner-
vous dread of crossing the ocean. Never
before did an American become so
thoroughly weaned from his country,
William says that he would not cross the
Atlantic for $4,000, ,O00 Nor Is he willing
that his sons Walter and Lewis shall.

One Glass too Much.

So I hear the jeering rabble say,
As young man from the bar room door
Goes reeling forth down the drunkard's way
And | wonders he staggers on
How many, many thousands such
The same dark road 10 rui have gone
By drinking just "one glass too much'"
A maiden sits at the banquet board,
Her eyes afame and her cheeks afush;
Her lips have quaffed of the fiery draught
That drives her pulse IN \ feverish gush.
Now she can laugh at the ribald jest;
She shrinks not from the lecherous touch;
The sc, tinel sleeps in that maiden's breast;
Alas! she has sipp'd lone glass too muchi'
pilot stands at the quivering helm
While the waves with fierce and angry roar
Are drifting his bark, through storm and dark,
To rocks that frown on a dangerous shore.
In vain do his nerveless, tremulous hands
With 'wildered clasp the tiHer-rope clutch;
A wreck on the rocks, corpse on the sands!
That sailor had drank zone glass too muehl'
4 thousand patriots carry their flag
In the ight for freedom, bold and high
With lofty cour age they're forcing back
The legions that strike at Liberty;
AMI a shout of triumph almost peals-
The coveted prize they almost touch
When, All frnm his horse their captain reels,
And the day Is lost by-"one glass too much!'
sore glass too much.' Aye, tell me who
How long may the reckless tippler pass
The poisonous dram TO his thirsty lips
And still escape from the fateful glass;
Young man, SO strong in a generous pride,
Fair maiden 80 blessed with Beanty's touch;
o, .mper not with the tempting tide!
The very first glass Is ''the glass too much!'
